It does not matter if you are driving a brand new Ford Fusion or a Ford F-150. When you focus on fuel efficiency, you are going to be able to stretch those dollars further and help to extend the life of the vehicle, regardless how old it may be.
To maximize fuel efficiency there are a few driving habits or maintenance routines you can adapt. By trying the following steps you can get the most out of every mile per gallon:
- Be sure that you check the tire pressure in all four tires regularly
- Schedule an oil change roughly every 3,000 miles
- Use the cruise control on highways as often as possible
- Turn the car off and don't leave it idling for extended periods of times
- Check and replace air and fuel filters when you get the oil changed
These are simple tips to follow no matter what kind of car, truck or SUV you drive.
